About POLYMERQUARTZ Technology
Process description
POLYMERQUARTZ is an advanced and refined technology for producing polymer–sand products from polymer film waste. The key stages of the production process are outlined below
Stage 1
Raw materials
The main raw materials used in POLYMERQUARTZ production are:
Sand (or alternative fillers used to achieve specific material properties, including wood-processing waste, glass, rubber crumb, and other mineral or composite fillers)
Polyethylene film waste (including heavily contaminated films that are typically unsuitable for conventional recycling, as well as sorting residues)
Pigments and functional additives
Stage 2
Preparation
Before production, polymer film waste is sorted and undergoes primary processing. Depending on the production configuration, this stage is performed using an agglomerator or a crusher, ensuring stable material properties for the next stages
Stage 3
Melting and Homogenization
Prepared polymer material is mixed with sand, pigments, and additives and fed into an extruder. Under controlled temperature and mechanical action, the mixture melts and becomes homogeneous, forming a stable polymer–sand mass
Stage 4
Pressing
After extrusion, the heated polymer–sand mass is transferred into molds, where products are formed under pressure. The finished products are then cooled, trimmed if required, and stored or placed on pallets
Stage 5
Result
The POLYMERQUARTZ technology ensures:
Stable product geometry
High mechanical strength
Resistance to moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations
Long service life in demanding operating conditions
